<div>My Name’s Nik, and This Is My Next Step
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I’ve been fighting for this chance since I was 18 years old. I’m now 31, and after years of paying for private health and trying every way I could, I’ve finally been given the opportunity to get weight-loss surgery.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>This isn’t something I take lightly—it’s life-changing. I’ve already lost 50kg through my own hard work and determination, and this surgery is the next step toward being the healthiest version of myself. I know I’m worth investing in, because I never give up on myself and I never give up on others.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The hardest part hasn’t been the surgery itself, but the financial side. I work as a casual support worker, and recovery means I won’t be able to work for at least two weeks. That’s over $2,000 in lost income, plus bills and living costs. To sit in a comfortable position and not put extra pressure on my family, I’m setting my goal at $3,500.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I’m not asking for flights, luxuries, or extras—just enough to keep my head above water while I recover and heal.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>This surgery will let me keep showing up for the people I support, and for my own life, with more strength and energy than ever before. If you can help in any way—financially, by sharing this, or even just with words of encouragement—I’ll be forever grateful.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Thank you for being part of my journey.
